1)\u00a0Answer\u00a0(D)<\/strong><\/p>\n

No relation can be established between birds and eggs and thus, 1 is not a fact.<\/p>\n

All chickens are birds and Some chickens are hens. There might be a case where some hens are not birds.
\nThus, 2 is not a fact.
\nSome chickens are hens. This may mean all the chickens are hens. Thus, 3 is also not a fact.
\nHence, option D is the correct answer.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

2)\u00a0Answer\u00a0(D)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Gita is older than her cousin Mita. Mita\u2019s brother Bhanu is older than Gita
\nFrom this we can see that their ages in the descending order is:-
\nBhanu>Gita>Mita.
\nThus, Of the three, Mita is the youngest.
\nHence, option D is the correct answer.<\/p>\n

3)\u00a0Answer\u00a0(C)<\/strong><\/p>\n

dionot means oak tree
\nblyonot means oak leaf
\nblycrin means maple leaf
\nThus, not-oak, bly-leaf, dio-tree, crin-maple.
\nThus, either option C or D is the correct answer.
\nBut when we notice the position we can observe that 1st word come last and last word come first.
\nThus, ‘patricrin’ could mean ‘maple syrup’
\nHence, option C is the correct answer.<\/p>\n

Let us use the persons initials to denote their positioning. They will be A, B, C, D, E, F, G and H respectively. Let the most expensive fruit be ranked 1 and the cheapest fruit be ranked 8. Then,<\/p>\n

We can begin by considering the statements “Fig is the cheapest fruit and the person who buys it sits second to the left of Divya. Divya does not sit opposite the child buying the 7th cheapest fruit.” and “The one buying chikoo (which is the second most expensive fruit) sits second to the left of the one buying grapes and in between the children who buy the cheapest fruits.” From this we get the diagram:<\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

Now we consider the statements “However, the one who buys bananas does not sit opposite the one buying figs.” and “Only one person sits in between the people who buy banana and dragon fruit.” We also know that\u00a0Esha buys dragon fruit from the third statement.<\/p>\n

Now let us place the condition in statement 2. Divya will have to buy apples as no other case is possible. So, we get:<\/p>\n

If the person sitting to the immediate left of the person buying bananas buys eggplant, then to fulfill the condition in statement 5 (The one buying Honeydew sits second to the right of H), H will have to buy Eggplant. However, it is given in\u00a0statement 4 that\u00a0If Harsh buys eggplant Girish buys bananas. This is not possible since we know that Girish must buy Honeydew.<\/p>\n

So the only case possible is:<\/p>\n

Now, consider the statements “Only if Arth sits next to Bala and Charuvi is the one who buys banana to the immediate right of the one who buys honeydew” and “Esha sits opposite to Bala”<\/p>\n

Also, from the statement 5 we know that the one buying the most expensive and the fourth most expensive fruits sit opposite to each other. Hence, A or H must buy the most expensive\/fourth most expensive fruits.<\/p>\n

However, none of these are possible because no possible combination will fulfill the condition given in statement 2.<\/p>\n

The only possible case is :<\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

Now let us place the condition in statement 2. Divya will have to buy apples as no other case is possible. So, we get:<\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

If the person sitting to the immediate left of the person buying bananas buys eggplant, then to fulfill the condition in statement 5 (The one buying Honeydew sits second to the right of H), H will have to buy Eggplant. However, it is given in statement 4 that\u00a0If Harsh buys eggplant Girish buys bananas. This is not possible since we know that Girish must buy Honeydew.<\/p>\n

So the only case possible is:<\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

Now, consider the statements “Only if Arth sits next to Bala and Charuvi is the one who buys banana to the immediate right of the one who buys honeydew” and “Esha sits opposite to Bala”<\/p>\n

We have:<\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

Also, from the statement 5 we know that the one buying the most expensive and the fourth most expensive fruits sit opposite to each other. Hence, A or H must buy the most expensive\/fourth most expensive fruits.<\/p>\n

So, E\/G must buy the third and sixth most expensive fruits.<\/p>\n

Final diagram:<\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

We can see that G sits to the immediate left of C.<\/p>\n
